The One Thing That Never Fades: Regret

 

"THE WEIGHT OF REGRET: THE ONE THING THAT NEVER FADES"

It is said that:

Life moves forward. Everything passes—Joy fades, Pain heals (which is totally wrong), moments of triumph become memories, and sighs of despair turn into lessons. Even the moments that once felt like they’d last forever eventually slip away. They say nothing lasts forever. But here, my friend, you are wrong.

Because there’s one thing that never leaves. One thing that lingers, silent yet heavy. One thing that will haunt you lifetime. One thing that follows you like a shadow—Regret.

The shadow may leave you in the dark, but regret? 
Regret never leaves you.

Regret is ruthless. It doesn't scream; it whispers.
It doesn't wound; it lingers.

It sits in the quiet moments, reminding you of the words you never said, the love you let slip away, the chances you had but you were too afraid to take. You let your fear win.

 Unlike happiness or heartbreak, regret doesn't fade with time. It stays buried deep in your heart, whispering what ifs and if onlys when you least expect them. It reminds you of the moments you let pass, the doors you never opened, the paths you never dared to talk.

You can outrun pain; you can rebuild after failure; But—

The worst part? You can’t change the past. You can’t go back and fix what’s broken.
 All you can do is live with it, hoping that one day, it stops haunting you.

You know what as of my experiences:

Your inner voice will ask you questions that have no real answers no matter how many excuses or reasons u say but the truth is that you won't have the perfect answers. It will replay moments you can never change. It will turn what if into a longtime echo.

So if you still have time, don't let regret be the thing that stays forever.
 Say what you feel, Chase what you love—who you love. Take the risks.

Because in the end, wounds heal.
But regret?
Regret is forever.
